(Mom: Lance with 'his people'!!-still the same Lancey boy haha)  I am so blessed. This mission thing is beyond great ahha. My comp and I had a great week full of many miracles and fun times. The city is so insane, there honestly is always thousands of people all around you. It doesn't matter what time of the day it is! So since we are really trying to light the world with the initiative put on by the church we had the opportunity to do a hot chocolate stand downtown Toronto with a couple sets of missionaries! It was such a success as we were able to get a ton of phone numbers and give out a lot of Book of Mormons. Ultimately lighting the world with the real meaning of Christmas which is Christ!! What a great season to truly help people come closer to our Savior. Its a big blessing to be here serving at this time of the year. Honestly doesn't even feel like Christmas though we haven't had any snow really ahha. Its been kinda cold but nothing to insane to be honest.

It's been such a crazy week!! Got to the city!! It's honestly so sweet. I have never driven or seen so many people on buses in my life haha. My new comp and I are doing so well. We this week was so crazy as we had transfers Tuesday and had to drive all the Elders and Sisters in our zone to all their apartments as they are all in bus areas....we have a van and a bus pass (super awesome!!). So that was fun getting to know everyone in our zone as well as be able to help them get settled in. We found out we have to find a new apartment in the next month or so as our place just sold aha so that will be interesting. Then most of Wednesday we did planning a little bit of bus contacting and figuring out the people they were teaching before as we are both new in the area. So we are in what's called the North York zone. Our chapel is legit in the middle of massive houses. For example, Drakes house is in our area as well as Kyle Lowry haha! so this is the super rich part of Toronto.

Well another transfer has gone by. It's crazy I'll be headed off already. But legit I'm so excited to head up to the big city of Toronto. I'm going to be in Don Valley and be watching over the North York zone as a zone leader. It's going to be a blast honestly am so excited. My companion and I will be white washing (so we both are new) just like this past transfer. He is such a sweet guy so I'm so pumped to serve with him. It was great to be able to train and be district leader these past two transfers though because honestly its helped me grow so much. For sure have truly gained a strong testimony of following the spirit, being obedient, diligent and patient (mostly with myself ahah). Honestly am growing so much and know there is no other way I could be growing this much if I wasn't here serving the Lord. Its truly been a massive testimony booster for me and has given me joy like no other. I felt joy back home but I now realize that it was more just immedia
